My JX's however get well over 6 gallons usually without needing bearings or losing compression. Get the JX and put the money elsewhere..
I have a speed and I love it, but I was wondering if there was a noticeable difference. I bought the speed and an EB mods head button (another 55 bucks) and I love it. So there's 475 for the speed and 55 for the button. Thats a lot for an engine. But so far I have 3 gallons on it and it feels great, I did replace the front bearing but I expect that from any engine every 2-3 gallons.. Tuning is excellent and power is unbelievable, especially when the straight is long enough for it to open all the way up.

What pipe do you suggest for the ninja in a 8t 2.0? Right now I have a mugen 2042 and L shaped header on the speed.
